"Bro, sorry ooo, but at my place, everything is working."

"Is it the first time u're seeing no water, no light? From the days of kuffour gallon..no water, no light. We're even lucky at Teshie to have Mahama purified Sea water; even that maint was a problem for 8 years."

"We have light and water in our area. Tell us that u want light in ur village."
